“I didn’t even know about the fight,” he said. “Men everywhere, we have huge egos and lots of pride. I don’t know that particular incident personally, but most fights that I hear about, it’s about pride and ego. I can’t speak for every case. I don’t know much about this case.”

"Rap money is easy money"
For the most part it's true. Doesn't mean every rapper doing it is rich, but all anyone has to do today is slap something on Itunes, or deliver their CD's to indie music stores, and they make instant cash.

The best way to ignore an article, is to not click the link for the artice. You should already know that you won't get some thought provoking editorial, so why even bother. We are letting these Isrealites capitalize on our culture?

Rap money is easy money?....Do you have any earthly idea how many thousands of niggas who are trying to get on that will never see a rap check? What about the people who are on but are fighting just to stay relevant? The rap game is anything but easy money playboy.....

What some of you niggas fail to realize is that some of these individuals are street niggas. When you come straight out the block and start making millions then you will wild out.Nobody will clearly understand the friction between Jeezy and Ross but I think I got a good idea why Jeezy is pissed at Ross. Same with 50cent..I'm no mad at him for sending those niggas at gunplay because I would have did the same thing. People have different mind sets..

Mike T

True. That's why I find myself listening to other genres of music. I feel like rap music can be repetitive at times that its sickening. I believe some of these rappers ain't about that life but that's up to us if we still want to listen to their music.

!!!

There are street niggas in every profession on Earth but Hip Hop is the only one with pretend street niggas. And them niggas are the ones wilding out and acting retarded. If you sincerely came from a down and out situation on the streets, then you doing everything you can to distance yourself from shit that will bring you back to the drawing board. I been there.

I need to stop doing what?
There's 500 fucking comments on the fight. Don't tell me to not take it as a big deal, tell them.
And second of all, just cause you don't like either of them doesn't mean nobody gives a shit.
And to the dude above, it's god damn obvious. Ross and T.I have a video coming out soon. You moron

Tell em' I said that

TI fucks with Jeezy way heavier than Ross, Jeezy and TI are really good friends because of that ATL shit and they collab alot. At one point T.I. didn't even like Rick Ross, I think he still don't like ross personally but music is music.

More like ignorance and ego. If there was any pride involved, it should reflect in the music, which it doesn't, for all parties involved.
Men know how to check their pride at the door or at least direct in a constructive manner. This shit that happened here, is NIGGAS on parade with money. All thanks to BET.

Up North is racist

Orandoll

Because in any other race an ignorant person is just an ignorant person. But the second a black person does something ignorant its he becomes a "nigga" or a "nigger". You ARE an uncle tom, because you validate and perpetuate black inferiority by directly attributing ignorant behavior to their skin color. He's not "an ignorant person who happens to be black" to you he's "he's ignorant because he's a nigga". You are sell out.
When a white person says "i like black people but i hate niggers" its because of people like chris rock who gave them a loophole by creating a false anddangerous distinction between "good black people" and "bad black people". And then other black people like you were brainwashed in your ideological views on the black race and subsequently end up destroying your own people with a false "black to nigger". ranking system
You validate racism and disgrace your people by justifying stereotypes made by people who met a few ignorant people who happened to be black and decided that black people have a nigger gene in them that makes them uncivilized. Therefore if a black acts uncivilized its only because he is a nigger.
Even in your condescending tone we can all tell that you have you a self hating superiority complex towards people of your make up, even though to the rest of the world you are all the same once you piss them off.

So, I'm curious to know how I'm racist. Please explain. Since me being darker than most doesn't mean anything, tell me what race I'm claiming to be superior. That's what defines a racist, is it not? The belief that one race is superior to another? Or is brutal honesty too much for you to handle? The fact that we as a people can't even have an award show because we can't help bit to be violent over PETTY bullshit. Same story with the Source awards. I'll wait......

Up North

Yup. I'm racist. Never mind I'm probably the darkest motherfucker on here posting. The racist ones are those of you who don't see this shit as ignorant. Business as usual for us blacks, right? I expect more from my people. It's a shame you clown fucks don't.

Called an Uncle Tom by a bunch of retards who can't fucking read. The article is about the BET award fights, which involved US. Not Mexicans, or Chinese, or Greeks, or fucking Eskimos. My comment is aimed specifically at those involved in the mentioned incident.
"This shit that happened here, is NIGGAS on parade with money. All thanks to BET."
Read the line in quotes and then interpret it you illiterate fuck.

Nigga please. Go the fuck elsewhere with that high and mighty bullshit. I call it like I see it. Now go ahead and give me your speech about how white people keeping us down had something to do with what happened.
And by NIGGAS I meant ignorant black people, just as I referred to you. Get your fucking head out of your ass.

You are a sellout

By NIGGAS you mean blacks. Because whites used that word in that manner to dehumanize your race and here you are using it in the same manner to disgrace black people as if they are the only race on the planet that behaves this way. Youre an Uncle tom.
